Hi I’m Áine

I’m a 24-year-old engineer whose always had a fascination with how things work. In my free time, you can catch me doing a variety of things, depending on the season and the weather of course! I enjoy everything from crochet to paddleboarding and will give most things a go at least once! When I’m not out on the water or stitching up a storm on the couch, you might see me trying to capture a moment in time by taking photos. Other than that, I really enjoy all things musical, including musicals themselves, as well as movies, (you can find my thoughts on some of the ones I’ve been to on this site).

For a while, I had been considering cutting my hair and going quite a bit shorter than I had had it for the last ten or so years. Shortly before deciding to cut it, my mom mentioned that she thought that I might have enough hair to donate it, and what do you know, I had ten inches to where I was planning to cut it! You can see me post-haircut with my dog Sully (yes, named after James P. Sullivan from Monsters Inc, I admit it, I am a Disney nerd) in the picture above. I was able to send off a bunch of ponytails of curls to Maggie’s Wigs 4 Kids in Michigan to help children who are experiencing hair loss due to a wide range of reasons, such as cancer treatment, alopecia, trichotillomania, burns and various other disorders.
